5 Trick Fixes for High Mileage Cars, Part 2: Get Better handling, visiblity, safety, and looks!

Here is the Halo version (left) versus stock (right).  The difference isn’t so much in brightness as it is more in a more updated look.  This picture was taken with the hazards on so, aside from putting the car in reverse or turning, you won’t notice much difference in the lighting, except for the whiter lights around the license plate.  But they’re easily as bright as stock, and come in different colors for you to choose from to spice up the night look of your car.  Just make sure to check with your local laws when it comes to lighting modifications.

 

#5: INTERIOR LIGHTING

Something else we wanted to change was the yellowish dome lighting inside.  While it may seem like an unnecessary upgrade to some, many will actually find a brighter and whiter interior more pleasant to get in.  If you're tired, it can also help wake you up a bit as you buckle in. 

Using LED bulbs is advantageous because they have less draw on the electrical system.  While this upgrade won't affect interior lighting performance while driving, because the alternator charges the battery and you don't drive with the interior lights on anyway, it does help prolong the life of the car battery should someone accidentally leave a dome light on overnight.  Like we’ve never had that happen before, right?  If my kids would only quit sneaking in the car and pressing buttons, I wouldn't have either!  Once again, we turned to Sparkplugs.com for all of our interior lighting needs.

 


This shot shows the interior’s stock lighting.

On the driver and passenger door panels we have the LW-101 LED bulbs to replace. 

Notice how much whiter the new Halo bulb is.

Here’s a shot of our stock dome lighting.
